The largest and most diverse city in America. With a population over 8 million, and a reputation for blunt honesty, graft and aggression, New York City is actually one of America's friendliest places, with a proud citizen base committed to cooperation. An excellent example is September 11th, 2001, when New Yorkers of all backgrounds automatically pulled together to rescue the injured, rebuild infrastructure, and provide America backbone to withstand the event.
New York City is the most talked-about, thought-about, and most-written and sung about city in the world. New songs, movies, television programs and plays are created about it daily. Moving to, surviving, then living well in New York City is nearly universally seen as "having arrived".
New Yorkers are brash, impulsive, good-natured and approachable. They like meeting people and are not shy about making new friends. Friendships can be struck up in public (i.e. on line for a bus, or at a bank) when two or more unrelated New Yorkers notice something unusual and make a (usually sarcastic) comment to one another.

Person 1: New York, New York
A hell of a town
The Bronx is up and the Battery's down
The people ride in a hole in the ground
New York, New York...
It's a hell of a town!
Person 2: The example should include the words "New York City". You forgot "city".
Person 1: Lenny didn't use city in that song.
Person 2: Yeah, but he didn't write the lyrics either.
Person 1: Stop arguing with me on the train, you must be from New York City or something.

The only place anyone thinks about when New York is mentioned. A staggering amount of people think it's the best city in the world. It's actually just a shithole that wouldn't exist without Upstate New York (money, food, garbage disposal, etc.), while pretending that upstate is actually relying on them.
The place is full of snowflakes that are entitled enough to elect Andrew Cuomo as governor, whereas barely any of upstate voted for him.
Fuck you, NYC.

"Where does all that insane tax money go, dad?"
"It goes down to New York City."
"What does the city give us?"
"More taxes, with a topping of their garbage."

A city in the southern most area of New York State. It is commonly believed to be the "Greatest City In The World" (said mostly by people who have visited it once or twice). The truth is all we have in NYC is the best pizza and assholes. The tourists who come to new york are the worst, and imagine it to be like something they've seen on TV or in the movies. There's really nothing special about NYC. In the tri-state area many teens enjoy bragging about going to "the city" over the weekend, but if you actually live there it's nothing special. I have been to other cities and many, if not all, have been better than NYC. There are some good things about NYC; if you live here you know where all the good food is, you don't get the "tourist special" and pay the actual price. If you work on it you can attempt to not develop the accent and you will say words like coffee, talk, ask, instead of cawfee, tawk, and axe. One more thing... Anybody who says that they enjoy Times Square is either lying, or a complete moron. Who enjoys walking through a crowd of thousands of people at two in the morning?
Kids who live outside of New York City, eg: westchester, yonkers, Staten Island(I know that they are technically still in the city), New Jersey, Rockland, and other suburbs:
Teen A: I can't wait until friday I'm goin to the city.
Teen B: oh yea? why?
Teen A: because after i get back everyone will think i'm cool.
Teen B: you're a fag.
Kids Who live in New York City:
Teen A: I gotta go into the city today
Teen B: that sucks. good luck
Teen A: I know, my whole day is shot.
